Editor's note

The military coup that ended Omar al-Bashir’s long stay in power sent shock waves around Africa and the world. But protesters, whose months-long demonstrations piled tremendous pressure on the elderly ruler, aren’t content with his ouster. They want his entire regime to step aside. David E Kiwuwa maps out what comes next for Sudan.

Meanwhile, Mattia Cacciatori mulls one of the biggest questions that is bound to follow al-Bashir’s resignation: whether the International Criminal Court should prosecute him for crimes against humanity. And Mohamed A. Satti describes the role that music and lyrics have always played in Sudan’s fights against oppressive regimes.
